Thank You for Not Falling Apart

 Thank you for not falling apart

More went wrong than right 

But you held it together

You could’ve crashed out but you chose better

Thank you for not falling apart

Hell and high water showed up at your door

And you met them with grace and stability 

Thank you for not falling apart 

When violence seemed like the answer

You chose silence

You smiled and removed yourself from the environment

So gracious 

Thank you for not falling apart

When curse words were fitting 

You chose the breastplate of righteousness and the helmet of salvation 

As your garments 

You wore patience around your neck like a medallion

You champion

Thank you for not falling apart 

For the times you never felt seen or heard 

You turned to El Roi and Elohim Shama

Because you knew He heard you

He saw you

And that’s all that mattered to you

Thank you for not falling apart 

When death called your name and the melody was sweet

Serenading you

Wanting to swallow you up in its victory 

You remembered God’s Word

And you chose that abundant life over the tune of demise

Thank you for not falling apart 

A lot was sent to break you 

But you chose to be broken before the Father

And He saved your life 

From the depths of my soul

And the bottom of my heart

Thank you, for not falling apart
